Chapter 1005: Medal (I)

As Tang Yun stood under the bronze statue, the 4th battalion was completed and the number was completed.

The commander of the East Lake Prefecture Military Region, Poitier, and the first lady of the Federation, Mariko Muto, also stepped down from the rostrum at the same time and walked to the front of the queue of the 4th Battalion. Liu Ze followed with several orderly soldiers holding trays in their hands.

Qin Haocang trotted a few steps and saluted the federal military in front of Poitier...... In fact, it is difficult to be pretentious, whether Qin Haocang gave Poitier a federal military salute or a Kemia military salute. The Komia Star Field originally belonged to the Federation, and there was no difference in the etiquette. After Commander Poitier returned to the military salute, and after the first lady bowed slowly in return, Qin Haocang spoke with the standard etiquette and tone of a soldier's report.

"Some fighters of the K279 unit of the Kemia Star Field, the 5th Division, and the 4th Integrated Operations Battalion. The former 2883 unit of the Federation, the 8th Division, and the 4th Interstellar Marine Battalion all report to the former head of the Federal Military District! ”

"It has been 19 years and 7 months since the last time I left the 2883 military district of the Federation. The 4th Battalion has a total of 641 officers and men, 517 combatants and 124 logistics personnel. After more than 400 battles, 589 were killed, including 19 officers and 570 soldiers, including battalion commanders. All the 52 survivors are here, please instruct the chief! ”

19 years of wandering......

A large battalion of more than 600 people, burdened with the grievances of the Federation, still insisted on fighting against the Hundred Covenants, and in the end there were only 52 soldiers left......

A promising and legendary star battalion commander died in the vast interstellar space with a black pot on his back......

Commander Poitier clenched his black, wide palm tightly and replied in a very crisp, emotionless military tone.

"The case of the 4th Battalion and its commander Tang Chengze's betrayal of the # country has been reiterated, and all the charges are false, and all are fabricated and framed by people with ulterior motives. Today, on behalf of the federal military, I return the innocence to the 4 battalion! ”

"In the first, second, and third battles for the defense of Komia; development of modular mechs; The first discovery of the Z0 gate to Eristar; Fight against the #anti-elements planted by the Apocalypse in the Komia Star Field; With his actions, he completely stopped the illegal acts of the interstellar pirates and illegal mercenaries wandering around the Komia Star Field! ”

"Time and time again, you have shed blood and sweat for the Federation, maintaining order and peace between the two star fields. The federal military decided to award the Golden Silver Wing Medal to all officers and men of the former Federal Unit 2883, the 8th Division, and the 4th Interstellar Marine Battalion! Even if you are integrated into the K279 unit, the federal military will not forget this favor! ”

Liu Ze cooperated with Poitier to lift the red cloth covered on the tray in the hands of several orderlies, on which was a piece close to each other, a full 600 pieces of gold and silver wing medals that almost represented the highest honor of soldiers! A long list followed, and every time he read a soldier of the 4th Battalion, Liu Ze would pick up a medal and hand it to Poitier, who would pin it to the soldier's chest.

Of the more than 600 medals, only 52 were awarded, and the rest could only be hung on the tombstone in front of the KW388 "Mecha Cemetery". The golden Silver Wing Medal shimmered with glory in the sun, and the light was beautiful, but it also concealed countless indescribable sadness and tragedy.

With all the medals awarded, the people of Kermia in the 181st block cheered again! At this moment, the hostility and wariness of the people of the Kemia Star Domain towards the Federation finally dissolved. These are also the results pursued by this celebration of peace.

Of course, although this is all real people's #will, for Tang Yun, he should also contribute his cheers and applause at this time. But......

I don't know what's going on, Tang Yun suddenly remembered those people who had pushed the bronze statue of his father. I wonder if the people who had pushed the bronze statue of Tang Chengze were also mixed in with these cheering crowds and jumped with them...... Of course, Tang Yun was the only one who thought of these silently. Because of this, looking at the cheering people of Kemia, Tang Yun inexplicably gave birth to a very special and indescribable emotion in his heart. Destiny...... A person's fate may never be completely in their own hands. Silently shook his head, now is not the time to think about this. The world is changing every second, and many things are just doing their best, whether it's popular support or peace.

The last soldier of the 4th Battalion put on the medal, and Liu Ze also bowed deeply. After Commander Poitier carefully turned off the microphone clipped to the collar of his military uniform, Liu Ze said in a relatively small voice.

"On behalf of the 2883 Federal Unit, I apologize to all the soldiers of the 4th Battalion who have been wronged, and the comrades and seniors of the 4th Battalion! Federal Unit 2883 owes you a great favor! I am coordinating with the relevant personnel, and now that the unjust case of the 4th Battalion has been revealed, the federal military will definitely do all the work to deal with the aftermath. Posthumously recognize the title of hero and martyr, and make up all the allowances and subsidies before the 4th Battalion joined the K279 unit. Even if you are not a member of Unit 2883, you will still receive corresponding benefits for military dependents living in the Federation. I know that you have already had a good treatment in the K279 unit, and Tang Yun has also set up a veteran fund. But don't say no, you deserve it! ”

......

......

At this moment, the first lady of the federation and the wife of the federal president Pu Zhiye, Mamiko Muto, slowly walked in front of Tang Yun and bowed deeply again.

"On behalf of the Federation, I would like to thank Mr. Tang Yun for everything he has done for the Federation, and on behalf of Mr. President and I personally, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you for the matter of Kouraliang!" After speaking, Asamiko Muto took a medal that seemed to be inconspicuous and completely transparent from the tray held by the ceremonial staff behind her, and carefully pinned it to Tang Yun's chest.

This is a crystal silver wing medal, which represents the highest honor of the Federation!

"This is the third Crystal Silver Wing awarded by the Federation in nearly 100 years. Despite the preciousness of the glory it represents, I can't say anything to congratulate you. Compared to your contribution to the entire interstellar world, this medal can only be described as bleak. I can only thank you again for all you have done for the Federation, and especially for the peace you have brought to the entire interstellar world! On behalf of Mr. President, I grant you the status of 'Ambassador of Federal Peace' and let this peace live forever in the universe!" ”

Although he has shed blood and sweat for the Federation, he has been in the 4th battalion for a long time, and he is the son of the star battalion commander Tang Chengze. But Tang Yun did never have any military rank or position. So he could only bow and return the salute.

"I will defend the peace between the four star fields with my life, and I hope that there will be no more wars in the entire interstellar world!"
